We require the services of an energetic, dynamic Mechanical Estimator to attend to the needs of both existing and potential customers.

Working in the Toowoomba, Qld site, you are responsible for attending to a high volume of quote enquiries on material handling equipment. You will be supporting and assisting our estimating team with all day-to-day functions and activities.

  7. Develop and maintain costing of our range of standard listed products in a timely manner so that product prices are kept current.
  8. Liaise with engineering and manufacturing staff to ensure costs of designs, manufacturing, and installation are kept within budget.

Skills and Experience:

  2. Exposure to CAD (not essential).
  3. Microsoft Office suite (with a focus on Excel) and other advanced computer skills.
  4. At least 2-3 years' experience preferred; however, we would also love to hear from recent agricultural, mechanical, and mechatronic engineering graduates or those in their final year.
  5. Sound mechanical aptitude.
  6. Strong work ethic and a high level of customer service focus.
  7. Excellent interpersonal skills, including written and oral, with the ability to gain the trust of customers.
